This week the category got a bit of a boost as The Spirits Business announced it most recommended spirits and two US Rum expressions were named. Thomas Tew and Privateer True American Rum were both named. Both of these rums come from New England and can be proud of their nominations.
Thomas Tew is produced by the Newport Distilling Co., based in Rhode Island, in a traditional style of rum made from Backstrap Molasses and tempered with local water before distillation in an 88 gallon copper pot still. The rum, said to have notes of coconut, vanilla, butterscotch and toffee, is named after a legendary pirate.

It is a proud moment to have our own American craft distilleries of which there are many to be honored is such a manner. I'm proud to know many of these find craftsmen here in the US and glad to see that the group is being recognized for their efforts. ;o)
